Haibun (俳文 haikai writings) is a literary composition that combines prose and haiku. The range of haibun is broad and includes, but is not limited to, the following forms of prose: autobiography, biography, diary, essay, historiography, prose poem, short story and travel literature.

For anyone interested in learning more about haibun, you can go to Cindy Bell's website as she's giving away a free 8 week course to one lucky writer. I believe this is normally a $250 course. You can go here for all the details. Leave her a comment by September 15th to be entered.
